The actress replied: “That’s the problem with people on social media, everybody has become so judgmental off late. As I said earlier, going to a temple / Maha Kumbh and being proud of who I am & my identity does not equate with me joining politics or for that reason BJP. Living outside India has made me realise the true value of my home country & like everyone else I do appreciate India & all things Indian much more now.”
Clarifying the situation to the star, the fan added: “Thank you for your detailed response, Ma’am. My question was never intended to be judgmental. As a keen follower, I observed that your recent tweets and public appearances associated with As a keen follower, I observed that your recent tweets and public appearances associated with political alignments, especially in today’s climate. I asked purely out of curiosity, not criticism. But your reply seemed like you got rattled by my question. Respect and best wishes always.”
Preity Zinta, on the fan’s response, realized her tough response and issued an apology. She wrote: “I’m sorry if I sounded abrupt! I have PTSD from this question. Appreciate your clarification. After becoming a mom & living in a foreign country I wanna make sure my kids don’t forget they are half Indian. Since my husband is agnostic we are bringing up our kids as Hindus. Sadly, I am facing constant criticism & this simple joy is being taken away by my choice being politicized all the time. I feel I need to keep answering for being who I am or having pride in teaching my kids about their roots & religion. Chalo time to move on …Sending you lots of love n best wishes.”
